Eternal sleep. Imagination. Oblivion.Such is the indelicate way of the decorous poppy, a flower so beguiling in its red-petaled power that it could charm men and women alike into throwing themselves away for it.
Such is also the way, Seonghwa often feels, of the Pirate King — a man so feared in name, his music could have sailors sending themselves to a watery grave just to avoid the fate that might greet them at the edge of the Captain’s notorious cutlass.
Imprisoned, but not quite, aboard his ship, Seonghwa finds himself with a new title that has him playing a tedious game he never intended to; it is one Hongjoong has played before, one he prides himself on, and one he knows his way around far better than Seonghwa ever could.
